Michigan experienced one of the worst droughts in recent history in 2012. Some livestock farmers may experience feed shortage this fall. Oilseed or field radish can help remedy that.

Oilseed radish (Raphanussativus var. oleiferus Metzg) is not a new
crop in Michigan. It has been used primarily as a cover crop. There are many
cultivars such as Adagio, Arena, Colonel, Common, Remonta,
Revena, Rimbo and Ultimo.
Oilseed radish can be interseeded into the stubble after wheat or oats
are harvested.
